Joe Oliver Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 This is the strava segment... so you can plan your attack!
Jewbacca Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Joe, 2 oceans ends on an uphill? Or did I miss the part where we would miss that last M3 bit?
Joe Oliver Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Joe, 2 oceans ends on an uphill? Or did I miss the part where we would miss that last M3 bit? The strava segment ends where we start at Forries. So yes we would miss the last M3 bit up to UCT. Last year the unofficial finish line was a sprint up the rise to Kirstenbosch top gate and then we rolled through to Forries so that the intersection at the M3 would interfere with any potential winning moves.

Ah ok radical... Looks awesome! I will need to see if my legs are up for a 56km bike ride followed immediately by a 56km road saunter...

MDJ Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Count me in - sounds like an excuse to buy a new light
Mamil Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Just counting on there being a little group content to "race" at an average 30-33 or therabouts ... not that I really mind a little solo early morning loop. Hairy 1
Joe Oliver Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 4:15? Is that a typo ? Certainly not! We aim to be off the route by the time the runners start which is at 6:30. Early nights all round! thebriancarter 1

Hackster Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Done it a couple of times. It's a great jol. Joe Oliver 1
Sheffield Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Is there possibly a do-over for those cyclists who have a running problem and have to do the route on the same day without a bike? Joe Oliver 1
lechatnoir Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 This looks flipping stunning... If I can remotely consider making that start time, I'll be there. With bells on... Joe Oliver 1
Stumbles Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 pity - will be there for the 1/2, but will def aim for next year. was reading this cyclingtips.com/2018/03/barely-controlled-chaos-the-life-and-death-of-the-wolfpack-marathon-crash-race/ earlier this week, make it sound like loads of fun. Joe Oliver, The Ouzo and Sheffield 3
splat Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I did it a few years ago. Good fun ! I think the prize was a bag of coffee beans
